1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesThe aims of the study were to elucidate the clinicopathological characteristics, imaging features, and surgical outcomes of patients with serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs) and to compare the features between microcystic (MiC) and macrocystic (MaC) SCNs. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this single-center retrospective study, information of patients with SCN between 2016 and 2022 at our institution was collected and analyzed.

resultsA total of 105 patients with SCNs were identified, including 58 (55.2%) with MiC type and 47 (44.8%) with MaC type. Patient age and American Society of Anesthesiologists grade in the MiC group were significantly higher than those in the MaC group. The overall preoperative diagnostic accuracy was 7.6%, with no patients in the MaC group correctly diagnosed before surgery. In imaging examinations, almost all (97.1%) exhibited a lobulated pattern. Internal septation, honeycomb pattern, central scar, and calcification were common, with a significantly higher incidence in the MiC group. No in-hospital deaths occurred, and the incidence of major complications were comparable in both groups.

conclusionsAlthough many patients presented with typical imaging features, accurate diagnosis of SCN remained difficult. Except for older age and higher American Society of Anesthesiologists grade in the MiC group, there were no significant differences in the clinicopathological characteristics between MiC and MaC SCN patients.
